Chapter 482

blackout hunting (3)

A bizarre twist that is not normally seen.

The moment he came face to face with the red eyes shining like rubies at the center, Myat's mind was bleached pure white..

‘···Die, die. Really die. If you don't come to your senses here···!’

She forced her stiff jaw to move and chewed her tongue vigorously..

Instinctive behavior that occurs without the person being conscious of it.

At the same time as the fishy taste of blood spread in my mouth, my mind, which had been slipping away, came back with a flash..

“Ugh!”

He then grabbed the neck of the older man who was frozen next to him and threw himself over the office table, widening the distance between him and the unidentified being as much as possible..

I don't know how much it means right now, but I had to do something to survive..

‘what? What is that??’

But her mind had long since been overloaded with confusion that had already surpassed its limit..

‘devil? It's the devil?’

Did the devil exist in this world in the first place??

Sabacheon, like Earth, was a world where only humans existed..

It's not that there are no stories related to demons, ghosts, dragons, etc., but I heard that they are just a distortion of the phenomenon caused by chakra..

‘But that···.’

I'm out of breath..

Instinct has been screaming since a while ago..

I could feel it intuitively.

That has nothing to do with chakra or practitioners..

That it is the crystallization of irrationality that exists in and of itself..

But I couldn't just sit still like this..

Myat gritted his teeth and quickly glanced at his opponent, being careful not to look into the devil's eyes as much as possible..

Anyway, in order to survive, I had to gather some information..

“Hoo? It's pretty good?”

Hela, who was looking at Myat like that with amusement, raised the corners of her mouth and stroked her chin..

Even if it's not activated properly, it's true..

Her magical eyes had powerful magical properties in and of themselves, with the added effects of “Lord of Light” and “Lord of Illusion.”.

At some level, it would be normal to be completely entranced the moment you encounter it.···.

‘like that guy.’

Hela slowly turned her gaze and looked at the older man who was with Myat..

Still unable to come to his senses, he continued to stumble and violently shake his head from side to side..

Although I was awakened from my dream with outside help, I still could not completely escape from the demonic influence that filled my head..

Although he is also a strong man who has reached a high level as a practitioner,.

‘Perhaps the fact that he was of the opposite sex had some influence, unlike Myat, who was of the same sex..’

However, even taking that into account, Myat's mental strength to quickly respond was worthy of praise..

Maybe it's just that the survival instinct has developed that much..

“There, right? I have a few favors for you.···.”

A soft voice flowed from between red lips..

Miyat and the older man immediately bite their lips at the voice that makes them go crazy just by hearing it..

Hela, seeing their blood dripping from the corners of their mouths, playfully touched the fingertips of both hands and tilted her head..

“It was fate that led us to meet like this, so wouldn’t you please cooperate? It won't be that difficult. All you have to do is answer the question.”

It was such a sweet request that I wondered if it could get any more sweet..

I wonder if there is anyone in the world who can refuse this..

But the reality was much harsher than expected.

Damn it—!

Hela, who was smiling brightly, froze completely..

The aftermath alone created such an extreme cold that the entire office was covered in frost..

Saaaaa—

After that, thick darkness filled the surroundings..

A space buried in an abyss, like a black hole, where the concept of darkness itself manifests itself and sucks in all light..

Myat, who was at the center, immediately escaped..

‘quickly, quickly···.’

It was crazy to fight until the end.

Now I was able to somehow take advantage of the opponent's carelessness and make a move, but if I missed this opportunity, I might not be able to lift a finger..

‘Done···!’

Her unique skill is “Shadow Assimilation”」.

Not only did it work well with the dark chakra, but it was also a lifeline that allowed them to break through the boundaries of the Yun family and escape..

With the ability to instantly move into the shadows tens of kilometers away without leaving any trace.···.

“uh?”

Miat, who activated his unique skill with a smile of regret, paused..

The facial muscles convulsed and the expression became grotesquely distorted..

Cold sweat ran down the back of her neck..

“What are you doing? hurry···!”

The older woman, who was using her ice chakra with all her remaining mental power, began to shout something, but she did not respond..

Just slowly raise your head and look at a point in front of you..

Where the devil was standing just a moment ago.

The area was engulfed in darkness that made it impossible to see even an inch in front of her, but she opened the dark chakra and was able to see inside as clearly as day..

And thanks to that, I was able to face it clearly..

“······!”

Buried in transparent ice, a pair of eyes gently opened.

That warm smile that feels like watching a child perform a trick.

[Did you expect it??]

The ever-fascinating voice pierced my ears..

The middle-aged man who was continuously carrying Miyat widened his eyes and turned to look at him..

Damn it—

The ice imprisoning Hela shattered..

At the same time, the darkness that had filled the surroundings also disappeared like cotton candy dissolving in water..

“Tatcha! how is it? Are you excited for a moment? Are you excited? I was surprised?”

Now all that's left is the office covered in thick frost.

Other than that, nothing has changed since the beginning..

There wasn't a single drop of water on her body, which was surrounded by ice, so it made me wonder if it was all a dream..

“How... no, since when···.”

Miyat opened his mouth with difficulty..

She clearly activated her unique skill..

But the result was a failure.

The reason was nothing special.

‘Everything in this area has already fallen under the control of that devil..’

「The control of the entire space, as well as the darkness that was supposed to assist in the "Shadow Fairy Tale," had fallen into the hands of another being, so there was no way that anything could be done now..

The darkness he summoned was not his own..

And I didn't notice that fact at all until just before now..

It was so absurd that I couldn't help but laugh, but what more can I say in a situation where it has become a reality?.

Now that I think about it, there was such a commotion, but there was still no sign of popularity outside..

‘Maybe I'm already possessed and hallucinating.’

Only then did I truly realize.

The other party wasn't letting their guard down and neglecting them..

“Since when, of course···.”

Hela, who tilted her head in response to Myat's question, smiled..

Then he slowly approached the frozen woman, lifted her chin with his index finger, and answered softly..

“From the beginning?”

In any case, Hela is the devil who reigns at the top of the devils, who are known for their bad temper..

To her, this was just a light prank..

“Now that we've had some fun and built friendships, shall we get to the main topic? I'm going to help you both.?”

Hela looked around at the two men and women standing in front of her..

「The “seven-colored evil eye” was activated, and the left and right eyes each glowed in different colors..

The red eye of domination and the green eye of spirit.

Myat stared at it blankly, feeling his entire body drain away and his mind becoming hazy..

‘iced coffee···.’

There was no longer any means or will left to resist..

For practitioners who value inner cultivation, the very existence of Demon King Hela was a scourge that eroded their spirit..

If it hadn't been a 'prank' in the first place, it wouldn't have taken this long..

‘It's so beautiful that I want to fall in love with it.···.’

A pair of jewel-like lights shining in the dark.

Myat followed the light and sank into the depths of his inner self..

***

The decision to select Hella as the person to be dispatched to Sabacheon was a decision made after combining several reasons..

‘Above all, the biggest thing was that his abilities were optimized to deal with chakra practitioners..’

It could be seen as a polar opposite in a different sense from Hoon, who shoots out a lot of mental pollution..

While his ‘thought runaway’ had an extreme aggressive tendency to be all-or-nothing, Hela was able to control all of those things freely to some extent..

‘He is also the actual owner of the magical eye used to investigate Anton's mental state..’

And the results of those choices could be confirmed in real time..

in a very satisfactory form.

“Here's some hot tea.”

“···no see. Do you have any further questions, Hella??”

Hela sat on the sofa in the office and quietly closed her eyes as she drank the tea Miat poured for her..

Next to her, the owner of this office, the older man... Pirat, a high-ranking official of the Qinghai Empire, was standing politely and explaining everything he knew..

“···Hmm, the prime minister. That guy is your superior and the general manager of this district.?”

“Yes. I am directly handling practical matters under a busy Prime Minister..”

“Then who is the emperor of Qinghai? Does the emperor know this??”

Of course, some kind of prohibition was placed on the mind of Firat, a high-ranking manager of the organization, perhaps for security reasons..

Under normal circumstances, even if we had subdued him, things would not have turned out so easily..

But if there is one variable here.

Hella was so far removed from the word 'ordinary' that it was the complete opposite of the word..

“Currently, the chancellor acts as regent on behalf of the young emperor. In fact, most of the real power is held by the Prime Minister..”

“Ah, I think I've heard of it. But didn’t they say that coming of age is not far away??”

“Because of that, I feel a little rushed. To prevent the emperor from ruining his long-prepared plan by doing something useless..”

As in every world, the political scene in this town seemed to be completely messed up..

In that sense, it goes without saying that the Prime Minister wanted war..

‘What is that damn power?···.’

Hela, the omnipotent and absolute power that rules over the entire demon world, clicked her tongue and drank the remaining tea in one go..

Then he stood up and patted Pirat, who was standing next to him, on the back..

“Thanks to you, I roughly understood the situation. Maybe it's because he's working for the government, but he's good at explaining things..”

“Ah, it is an honor! If you have anything else to say,···.”

“Yes, yes. So guide me.”

Hela cut him off as if she had been waiting, revealing her refreshingly white teeth..

“To that nobleman called Prime Minister.”

Pirat's residence where they are now was not that far from the imperial palace..

Considering the convenience of entering the palace for work, it is natural..

If you came this far, there was no need to go back any further..

‘If you want to get the job done quickly, you can't waste time on this..’

The prime minister of Qinghai Province was not the only mastermind who planned this incident..

There was a person in charge of the same level as Hongsan-guk, as well as the magic practitioner, and there was even a being called 'him' who was the final dark side that encompassed the three..

At this point, I was planning to catch the Prime Minister and catch the tails of the rest..

“···I am sorry to tell you this, but the Prime Minister is currently staying deep in the imperial palace. It's been quite a while since I haven't come out unless something really big happens. Since he has many limbs other than me, it is impossible to get him out with a false report..”

In other words, to meet him, you had to go deep into the imperial palace of a country..

Of course, there was no way that the security of the place where the emperor of a country that ruled half of the continent lived would be lax..

No matter how great Hella is, she's bound to get caught at least once..

“Yeah, so?”

“yes?”

Of course, such circumstances were none of Hella’s business..

“Guide me.”

“···yes.”

After all, there was no one in this world who could stand against him head-on..

***

Hella's outing to the imperial palace began quietly..

She simply moved carelessly following Pirat, who had access to the palace, but even in the imperial palace, not many people had the ability to recognize her presence as she had deliberately hidden herself..

After passing the outer fortress, the two people hurriedly crossed the inner castle where the prime minister resides..

‘This will be over easier than I thought.?’

But things in this world don't always go as you think..

Along with the strengthened barrier, the level of guards has risen significantly and they have succeeded in detecting a sense of discomfort..

“think!”

“stop! If you resist, you will be executed immediately.!”

The royal guard stands in front of Pirat with its evil eyes shining..

It was an elite unit that included not only many upper-level practitioners who were treated as seniors in Yunga, but also deep-level practitioners..

···Of course, Hela's response to those who blocked her path was already decided..

Hella, who had been staring at the extras who appeared with great force and then sprawled out on the ground and writhing, sighed deeply..

“It looks like we've been caught, so let's speed up. Because it becomes noisy and it is more troublesome to miss the target.”

“Okay, Hela..”

Pirat nodded, raised his chakra, and sprinted at high speed..

Even though he was discovered, it was true that he held out for quite a long time, so the remaining distance was not that far..

Weeeeing—!

However, once the location was exposed, it was inevitable that interference would continue to come..

At this point, people from the other side also desperately rushed in and started to grab their ankles..

Even among them···.

“How dare you trespass into the Blue Dragon Palace, where the Emperor resides! Even though the liver is swollen, it is still swollen! Reveal your identity right now!”

There was even one strong man who reached transcendence and a practitioner of astronomy..

Hela smiled bitterly as she saw the old man staring straight at her, unlike the people she had passed by so far..

“Hey, I guess infiltration doesn't suit me well..”

Although it didn't seem like something she should have said after successfully sneaking into the inner palace of the imperial palace, she was sincere..

If it had been Heinz II, he would have already invaded without a rat or bird knowing, secured the prize, and then picked it up and leisurely escaped..

“Well, everyone has pros and cons..”

Maybe it's even more amazing that I somehow made it this far with a body oozing out with magical energy..

She lightly shrugged her shoulders and slowly looked around..

The target point was already close by..

At this rate, even if he runs away, I should be able to chase him down quickly..

“I never thought of doing this···.”

“Kill the weightlifter!”

“Hit it!”

After finishing her appetite, Hela's wings spread wide from her back..

At the same time, the surrounding landscape began to become covered with wasteland..

“But I will do my best to make it painless.?”

A terrible demonic energy burst forth like an explosion in the middle of the imperial palace of Qinghai State..

A dark abyss that cannot be compared to that of magic practitioners covered the heavens and earth as if trying to swallow the entire world..

“There's nothing I can do if it still hurts.”

A great evil appears right in front of you.).

The faces of the guards who faced it began to turn pale..
